11 Popular Video Games That Totally Divide People
6. Star Wars Battlefront 2
Who could forget the absolute train-wreck that was Battlefront 2's release?
EA, in their infinite wisdom, gave in to the dark side of the force and decided to make an atrocious loot-box system that essentially made the game pay-to-win.
Fans of the series were rightly outraged, and the game was boycotted, causing EA a lot of embarrassment and resulting in the release of a statement of apology as they strove to fix the issues caused by their brazen greed.
Battlefront 2 itself is a solid game, though. Since the patch that fixed the loot-box issue, the multiplayer is exactly what Star Wars fans have always craved, with cinematic beauty that makes it almost as much fun to watch as it is to play.
For a lot of fans, however, EA's initial actions were off-putting enough that the entire game was considered a write-off, and the game's popularity will probably never quite reach the heights it now deserves.
There's a lesson in there somewhere.
